David Belisle is an early Vietnam draft dodger. His mother whisked him and his two siblings off to Canada when he was 8. Belisle has since thrown caution to the wind, shining his Humor & Satire spotlight on events of the day that demand a second, not-so-sober look. "Bushwhacked" is his wild west saga taking a barb-filled look at 1876, while "I Was Justin's Nanny" sweeps through Canadian politics. Belisle resides in Calgary with Spring Break trips to Arizona because modern medicine has yet to bottle Spring Training. Follow his current satire series, "The Trump Dig" at his website.
